Rescue and Record: Whale Strandings as Art and Action
November 1 @ 6:00 pm
$10 – $20
This event features a roundtable discussion with artist and printmaker Daniel Ranalli, Katie Moore, Manager of the Marine Mammal Rescue and Research, IFAW, and Naomi Slipp, Chief Curator, NBWM.

Cetacean stranding, more commonly referred to as beaching, refers to the phenomenon of dolphins and whales stranding themselves on beaches. There are around 2,000 strandings each year worldwide, with most resulting in the death of the animal.
Doors open at 5:30 p.m. and program begins promptly at 6 p.m. in the Cook Memorial Theater. A light reception will follow.
Tickets are $10 for members and $20 for non-members.
